The 2010 Sweet F.A. (Fashion + Art) Rock & Roll Fashion Show is an amazing young, fresh and raw night honoring Portland’s talent: fashion, art, artists, models and musicians.

Chris Robley & The Fear of Heights, Rachel Taylor Brown, Leonard Mynx, and Buoy LaRue at Mississippi Studios on Thursday, September 2.

The stories behind the songs on Vest’s new album. CD release Saturday at Duff’s Garage.

Annual concert by the Oregon Symphony features cannons, ballet dancers, fireworks, and great music.

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros will spend the first three days of September in Oregon playing two shows in Portland and one in Eugene before making their way to Seattle for Bumbershoot.

Dylan is rumored to be playing some rare gems, while Mellencamp is back in full force after a quiet period. Two classic American rock artists in one venue, together.

Sunday’s concert will present sacred choral music from the English Renaissance.

Amy Beth Frankel (left) is Charity…also choreographs. Based on Federico Fellini’s film “Nights of Cabiria,” the 1960s musical “Sweet Charity” takes a look at the life of a New York dance hall hostess looking for romance in all the wrong places.

“The Doobies have always been about playing live. We’re not a studio hot house group and we’re not a concept album band,” describes Pat Simmons. But to keep it interesting, The Doobie Brothers’ 13th studio album will be released in September during their extensive North American and European tours.

Featuring performances from Deelay Ceelay, The Joggers, Mean Jeans, Lovers, and several DJs. Happening across the street from Someday and Backspace at NW 5th and Davis.

“Burn The Floor” takes audiences on a journey through history via the passionate drama of dance. Think “Dancing With the Stars” up close and personal.

Roots rockers with a sense of humor. Led by musician/artist Ron Rogers.

Everyone Unique – Everyone Exciting – Everyone Orchestra this Thursday at Alberta Rose. Part of new monthly Last Thursdays.

Along the Oregon Coast….Reggie Houston will play with the Too Loose Cajun Band with special guest Turtle Vandemarr. Also appearing will be mighty-multi-funky-instrumentalist Mac Potts, Louisiana native keyboardist Steve Kerin and Lady “A” of Lady A & the Baby Blues Funk Band.
